Block Renovation acquires BuildZoom to form largest AI platform. Block Renovation, the AI platform empowering property owners and contractors to build better together, today announced it has acquired BuildZoom Marketplace and will expand its platform nationwide. By uniting BuildZoom Marketplace's large contractor network and organic demand engine with Block's leading AI and product experience, Block is creating the most trusted place to plan and hire for major residential and small commercial projects across all 50 states. "With this acquisition, we're scaling the first end-to-end destination for renovation and construction, giving homeowners and small businesses a single place to design, hire, and build with clarity and confidence," said Julie Kheyfets, CEO of Block Renovation. "Together, we're bringing the category from fragmented and opaque to connected, transparent, and trusted for property owners and contractors nationwide." * Nationwide availability: Block now empowers property owners in all 50 states to build with confidence, with personalized guidance, accurate pricing, curated contractor matching, and protected remodels. * Residential new builds: Expanding beyond remodeling, Block now supports new single- and multi-family construction, entering a $530 billion market and extending its end-to-end experience to every type of home project. * Small commercial expansion: Block is broadening its platform to support small commercial projects such as restaurants, clinics, and retail buildouts. Small businesses, which account for $200-300B in annual construction spend, represent a significant and underserved market. "Our agentic platform is transforming how property owners and contractors collaborate - making every step smarter, more transparent, and more connected," said Matt Stein, SVP of Product and Engineering at Block Renovation. "For property owners, it guides them through the journey from design to hire with visualization, data-driven pricing, and personalized support. For contractors, it improves lead quality by educating clients, pre-qualifying projects, and streamlining communication before the first visit. Together, these capabilities bring efficiency, insight, and assurance to construction at scale, and we're now extending that experience to millions nationwide." Nearly 100 million U.S. property owners face a construction process that's often overwhelming, confusing, and fragmented. Despite powerful market tailwinds - driven by aging housing stock and a nationwide housing shortage - the experience remains inefficient and frustrating. By servicing residential renovations, new builds, and small commercial, Block is positioned to transform a significant share of the overall construction landscape. "As we expand nationally, we're setting a new standard for what property owners should expect from the renovation and construction experience," said Kheyfets. "Building should be about creating a space you love, and doing so with confidence and trust. That's the future we are building at Block."
